In our previous post we discussed the 2017 Golden Globe Awards and offered some betting odds on the winners in the major categories. Now we’re going to have some fun with an assortment of ‘special proposition bets’. Some are co-opted from the Super Bowl and the 2016 Presidential Debates (TV ratings), some involve the winners (head to head network matchup between FX and HBO) and some involve the broadcast itself.
